a better showing than many antici-
pated. and defeated Cadamus, for sec
ond money.
Narcolla sold a heavy favorite in
the twe-mile dash. A few, however,
could be found to invest few odd
dollars on Galgo and Fred Collier.
Narcolla's performance to-day, every
thing considered, was first class. The
only real contest in the race, how
ever, was the fight for second place
between Galgo and Fred Collier.
Galgo won after hard race.
! The great thirty-mile running race
lin which each rider was allowed SIX
horses, and was compelled to change
at the end OF every mile, createdano
end OF excitement and enthusiasm.
The competitors were Caed Pugh, a
San Bernardno boy, and NJ. Pryor, ,fof
San Juan Capistrano. An enormous
amount of money was wagered on the
result of this race. At one time PuSh
would be the favorite, and then Pryor,
but the latter was mostly a heavy
favor.te, as he has been training fer
a month past, and was equipped
with good horses. Pugh did not
manage to get his animals together
until the last minute. Both men dis
played wonderful horsemanship, and
the alacrity with which they dis
mounted and mounted aroused the
enthusiasm of the vast assemblage.
Pryor assumed such big lead before
three miles had been traversed that
all hope for Pugh appeared to be
gone. But the San Bernardino man
stuck gallantly to his work, and more
than surprised the multitude by over
coming the great lead and passing his
opponent before half the distance was
traversed. Pugh's horses were very
fractious, and he experienced great
difficulty in mounting them in conse-
quence, but as the horses got used to
the work the defect was remedied.
Pryor's animals behaved splendidly
and he lost but little time in
changing; but. as the result
showed, he rode iniudiciously, driv-
ing his horses too fast at the start,
which told on the animals very con-
siderably towards the end. 1t was Il
great contest between tie riders, The
distance yesterday was accomplished
in the extraordinarily short time of l
hour, 6 minutes and 80 seconds, which
constitutes record. This con-
cluded one OF the best days sport
that has taken place in this city for
many long day. The details are as

At the fall of the flag Newell sent
Narcolla along at high rate of speed,
and had soon opened up Il wide gap
and must have been twelve lengths
ahead at the half. Fred Collier, who
had been last, now moved up to
Galgo and both riders set to work to
overtake Narcolla, but it proved a
fruitless task. Galgo and Fred Col
lier were racing neck and neck at the
three-quarters. NarcOlla passed by
the stand galloping in fine form long
way in the lead, and Galgo led Fred
Collier by almost length. Narcolla
won the race with the greatest of ease
and Galgo beat Collier by several
lengths for second money. Time.
2:371a.
First heat-The blue and black of
Valentine was the first to show to the
front. i All three trotters moved along
in faultless style and trotted punched
for the greater part OF the distance.
Stamboul led by short neck at the
half q :l2). A blanket should have
covered the three at the three-quarter
mile post q 40. Thapsin holding
second position. Stamboul entered
the finish with slight lead, which he
maintained until the finish. Time,
2:231a.
Second heat-All three moved over
the line together, but Stamboul was
the first to reach the quarter. valen-
tine, who had been moving finely up
tc this proint, broke badly and lost
half a dozen lengths before he re-
recovered. Thaspin was a length be-
hind at the half. Stamboul now
broke and lost great deal Of ground.
Walter Maben soon had the Sultan
stallion on his feet and following
Thapsin, and grand struggle took
place, but Stamboul coming at a high
rate of speed won by less than half
length after pretty finish. Time,
9 :26.
Third heat-This was merely re-
pition of the former two.
